Madison County sheriff’s deputies are asking for the public’s help in solving two daytime burglaries Wednesday in the town of Sullivan.

* The first burglary occurred just before 1:30 p.m. on Route 173, just west of East Lake. The homeowner called 911 reporting the residence was broken into while the owner was in another part of the dwelling.

Forced entry was made through a side door by the perpetrator, who drove away from the scene in a metallic golden/antelope colored, mid-size four-door sedan being operated by another suspect, deputies said.

The vehicle had the new style New York license plate -- blue and gold -- on the rear of the vehicle and no plate on the front.
Stolen in the burglary was an Apple style computer and an external hard-drive.

* The second burglary was reported to the Madison County 911 center at 4:50 p.m., when the homeowner returned home from work and found the front door of the McGraw Road residence, open, deputies said.

When the homeowner entered the door, fragments of the inner-door casing and door hardware were on the floor.
